Synchronized skating is a groingnot only in Canada but in the world. It's not a common sport that every one knows and often gets over looked. It deserves to be in the Olympics because it is a great sport to watch and teaches skaters disciplin and teamwork. It will show evhow much fun it is. It will reward all the blood, sweat, tears and time that everyone put into this sport. We will no longer have to describe our sport as the synchronized swimming on ice, because the general public will see firsthand the unique sport we love.
Synchronized skaters aren't just expected to perform the same quality of deep edges and sharp turns as athletes in other skating categories, they are also expected to track multiple teammates in order to maintain their shape, spacing and positioning, as well as match all arm and free leg positions. Its every young athletes dream to participate in the Olympics, although for Synchronized skaters that has not been possible. Help make this dream come true for many of us Synchronized skating lovers all over the world.

I am currently compiling a formal dossier of our arguments to submit to the International Skating Union technical committee. This document outlines the distinct athletic requirements of the sport to differentiate our needs from other skating disciplines. You can expect a status report once we receive an acknowledgment of receipt from their office.

The growth in support has established the necessary momentum to initiate formal correspondence with national skating federation officials. I am currently organizing the technical documentation required to present our case for Olympic inclusion during upcoming policy meetings.

This is a great sport. I'm a young skater and this is my fifth year at the sport. I was shocked when I heard it wasn't in the Olympics and cried when I heard it was rejected for the Olympics 2 years ago. Good luck!
Synchro is a sport in its own right. The skaters train hard. If snowboarding, why not synchro

Please, please, please. It has been my lifelong dream to go to the Olympics doing the sport that I love, and the only thing stopping me is the fact that it isn't even apart of the Olympics for some bizarre reasons. Synchronised ice skating is a sport which requires everyone to be the same, which trust me, is easier said than done. It incorporates many elements of other ice sports, and is also entertaining for an audience and is able to tell a story. Why is it not in the Olympics? This sport gets so much support because of the numbers of skaters, so really, the Olympics and the city the games are held in would benefit, so why is it still not an Olympic sport? Please, help me achieve my dream. X
